Default Seattle to LA to Dallas
in a new to me 99 996. Should be a great way to bond. Meet Scarlett - 48K miles, maintained by Akers, very nice shape. It'll be good to get back in a 911.

Congratulations, should be a good trip, I did it from NJ to CO last year, VERY good way to bond. Before you leave the seller's driveway, you will need to post a pic!

Sounds like fun. Let us know how the trip went. I'm planning on a San Diego to Columbus, OH trip returning via North Dakota in May, so I can get an idea of what to expect for a long road trip.

This will be my second trip bringing a 911 from SEA to DFW. In 1991 I bought a 70E and did the trip. This ride should be significantly more comfortable.
